I never meant for you to get hurt And how I tried, oh how I tried I could never give you just what you deserved Another man would surely learn I know these words They only serve to twist the knife But I will try to make them heard Maybe it's better now I've gone away Maybe it's not, oh who can say And though it's hard for me to say I know you're better off this way And when I told her I didn't love her anymore, she cried And when I told her Her kisses were not like before, she cried And when I told her Another girl had caught my eye, she cried And then I kissed her With a kiss that could only mean goodbye And though it's hard for me to say Maybe you're better off this way And though it's hard for me to say I know you're better off this way Get away, get away Get away, get away Get away, get away
